Larger lots and custom homes on Elgin's southwest side
View Available Homes Call (847) 738-1884Catatoga is one of Elgin's larger-lot custom neighborhoods, tucked on the southwest side where the city starts to feel semi-rural. Homes were built individually across the 1970s through 1990s, so no two streets look alike — expect wooded parcels, long driveways and serious elbow room.
Eight sales in the past year from the high $300s to the high $600s show the range: original-condition homes at the entry, extensively updated or expanded properties at the top.
Recent sales ran $393K–$685K with a median around $532K. Land value matters here — larger and more wooded lots carry premiums beyond the house itself.
Individually built homes, many with 2,500+ square feet.
Single-level customs on some of the neighborhood's biggest parcels.
Renovated homes with modern kitchens and outbuildings at the top of the market.
Catatoga is served by School District U-46 — verify the specific attendance schools for any address. School boundaries in the northwest suburbs can vary block by block — always verify your specific address with the district office before purchasing.
Bowes Road connects east to the Fox River and west to Randall Road; South Elgin's retail is minutes away. Explore our full Elgin guide →
